Xinyue made a face. "I didn't have to learn about romance. I was dedicated to my job. Romance was a waste of time for me. As a spy, I was more interested in finding information, not love."
That's why you are so hopeless, Ruiling thought.
"So if you were so dedicated to your job, when did you…" she coughed, "when did you start l-liking me?"
Xinyue thought back to it. "Around the time when I was undercover at the base as one of your cousin's guards. When I came to look out for Lihua."
She stiffened and widened her eyes.
Wait, that long back? Doesn't it mean that he had feelings for me during the time I had Shen Yang in my life?
She stared at him, flabbergasted.
"What?"
"When you first came to our house? Doesn't that mean from the beginning? When Sh-Shen Yang and I…" her heart drummed rapidly in her chest.
"Pretty much, I guess?"
"Then why didn't you do anything!?" She burst with impatience.
